During a recent series A process with Mayfield, we probably spent more time pitching various partners, prep meetings, etc, etc. than at any of the other VCs we talked to, and were more or less led to believe that we were going to get a term sheet after our pitch to the full partnership. No such luck. I was quite disappointed in how much time they consumed while providing very strong "go" signals.
